Newfield Holidays from £1,444

Everything was great including customer service everywhere but rooms don’t get clean daily. Food was delicious at all restaurants except at Rasta beach grill.

Overall we had a great experience. The rooms were clean and well-maintained. We stayed in a Gauguin Suite, which felt more like a private villa than a hotel room. Having a secluded backyard and plunge pool was a huge plus and made the stay feel very intimate and relaxing. The beach is absolutely beautiful and easily one of the resort's biggest highlights. The food was surprisingly good. Since meals are made to order rather than sitting under heat lamps at a buffet, everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The drinks were ok, although pretty much what you'd expect from an all-inclusive Caribbean resort. That said, this is not the type of resort you come to if you're looking to party. Galley Bay is all about relaxation, reconnecting with your significant other, and enjoying a slower pace of life. The evening entertainment is usually a live band playing music rather than the typical high-energy resort productions. Everything is very low-key and laid back. One thing to note is that the resort itself is fairly small. You can walk from one end to the other in about 10 minutes, which we liked but if you're looking for a massive property with endless activities, this may not be the place. My only real criticism is that some of the staff seemed a bit uninterested at times. Nobody was rude but we didn't experience the exceptionally warm service that many Caribbean resorts are known for. We didn't notice many guests tipping, so unlike other places the staff is not tip motivated.

Staff was FANTASTIC!! Can’t say enough about how warm and friendly and hard working at least the staff I interacted with were . The resort is lovely if you aren’t looking for an extravagant amount of things to do and to just relax. They do however have excursions for additional fees. If you are looking to just lay on a beach, this is not the resort for you. The view is beautiful from a beachfront room however, you can’t go and walk on to it and lay nor go into the water. There is a bayside of the resort that offers a small area to be able to go in to. The main pool was a little small but we were lucky to be visiting on a slower week. We also did not know there was an Adults Only section. This I will keep in mind for future consideration! I would like to point out that Riaan the GM was absolutely HANDS ON & very interactive with everything & everyone! Very refreshing! Overall it was a lovely time so thank you!

The escape was as peaceful and relaxing as advertised. The rooms were very private, and we loved the en-suite pool. Since the property is quite secluded, it’s ideal for couples looking to unwind rather than for those seeking nightlife or lots of activities. The staff were friendly, the rooms were clean, and they can help arrange tours and excursions for you. We rented a car and enjoyed exploring Antigua on our own as well. Bring bug repellent, especially for the evenings. The food was excellent. Portions are on the smaller side, but the staff are happy to bring a second serving. Loved the fruity drinks. Overall, a wonderful couples-only getaway exactly as described.

Great Anniversary Trip! My husband and I have been to several all inclusive resorts and we really enjoyed this one and would recommend. A few things to know about the resort before you book. We were a little confused about the different room categories. Garden is exactly what you would expect. Ocean/Beach view is a room that is on the side of the property where there is not a beach but a rocky shore. The beach front rooms were the best as it was quiet but close to everything, was truly beach front. I did not see any rooms where stairs went from the second story balcony straight out the beach as pictured. We didn't care about that at all but want people to know if that's important to you. Frankly I would either save money and get a garden room, or go for the beach front. There are US outlets in the rooms so you do not need a converter or adapter even for your curling iron or flat iron. The food was good but there are not the restaurant choices a larger resort can offer. However, fewer restaurants were worth the intimate feel and a nice change of pace for us. They have a buffet that is the main restaurant, an Italian that was good and open most nights, and a seafood open one night we were there. Dress can be casual or a sundress if you prefer. We did two excursions through the resort. The shopping trip can be skipped but do not miss stingray city. Fantastic and very responsibly priced! This resort is very laid back and quiet. Exactly what we were looking for!
